This guide walks the standouts. The full Bakersfield map lives in the KaraokeList app — free, kept current by the singers who use it.
Thursday is Bakersfield's karaoke night, and it is not close. El Pirulis Club on Baker Street and The Hideout Bar and Club on Coffee Road both start at 8pm, The Bellvedere on Brundage Lane at 9, and Riley's Tavern on 19th Street around 10, running to close.
The other nights are shared out thinly. VIP Lounge on California Avenue has Monday to itself, The Silver Fox Starlite Lounge on 18th Street shares Tuesday with the Bellvedere, and the weekend leans on Pour House on Fruitvale Avenue and Rock & Wings on White Lane. Wednesday is the gap in the week.

A quiet weekend
Bakersfield's weekend is modest by its Thursday standard. Pour House on Fruitvale Avenue takes Friday and Saturday, and Rock & Wings on White Lane starts its Saturday at 8pm. El Pirulis rounds out Friday, until midnight.
That is two venues on a Friday and two on a Saturday. Anyone who can only sing at the weekend has three bars to choose between; anyone free on a Thursday has four at once.
The early week, and the empty Wednesday
The early week has one of everything. VIP Lounge on California Avenue has Monday. Tuesday has two: the Silver Fox on 18th Street, and the Bellvedere on Brundage Lane from 9 to 1.
Then Wednesday, when nothing on our confirmed list sings. The Bellvedere comes back on Thursday, along with everyone else, and is still going on Sunday when the rest of the city has stopped.
